Punjab has beefed up security at vital installations and is ready to enforce curfew again in sensitive areas of the state on Monday, if needed, in view of the upcoming sentencing of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Ram Rahim.

It has also been decided to extend the ban on mobile data services in the state till Tuesday, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh announced here on Saturday, adding that 19 potential trouble makers had been taken into preventive custody and the crackdown would continue ahead of the sentencing. The main leaders of Dera Sacha Sauda, who are likely to instigate followers, are either being taken into confidence or arrested.

Addressing media persons here on the latest law and order situation in the state in the wake of Friday's violence in Panchkula after Ram Rahim was declared guilty by a CBI court, the Chief Minister said there had been no trouble anywhere since last night. He made it clear that there was no loss of life in any of the minor incidents reported in some parts of the state yesterday.
